1
My daddy worked a lifetime, yeah
2
For the Power Company
3
Turning night into day, yeah
4
Yeah, for the Power Company
5
You know that he can still recall when the company was God,
6
Man was a slave
7
Throughout a war-torn strife,
8
My daddy held his lit electric light.
9
Power Company
10
They told him: 'join the union, lad, or we'll kick you in the ass'.
11
Power Company
12
I grew up with these words printed on my back
13
Power Company
14
Whoa, oh, oh, oh¦Power Company
15
Whoa, oh, oh, oh¦when will you be free?
16
I worked like a dog all day on the production line
17
This factory is a jail, every day of your life you know
18
You're doing time
19
Now I got a little car
20
And I can't afford the gas
21
The house is cold and draughty
22
And the kids grow up too fast
23
I walk around, no future, no past
24
Power Company
25
Whoa, oh, oh, oh¦Power Company
26
Whoa, oh, oh, oh¦when will you be free?
27
How this world keeps on turning every day is a mystery
28
My old man gets up each morning
29
And he goes to work each day at the Power Company
30
Yeah, he still does his little job and it isn't very hard
31
A computer to talk to instead of people he once knew
32
And the bosses at the top
33
They never seem to stop
34
Power Company
35
And we're singin'
36
Whoa, oh, oh, oh¦Power Company
37
Whoa, oh, oh, oh¦when will you be free?
38
Whoa, oh, oh, oh¦Power Company
39
Whoa, oh, oh, oh¦when will you be free?
40
Yeah, when will you be free from the Power Company? (Power Company)
41
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, when will you be free? (Power Company)
42
Ask yourself a question and look around you (Power Company)
43
You ask yourself a truth that you'll find out (Power Company)
44
And you'll never be free (from the Power Company)
45
Yeah, move your head (Power Company)
46
Move your soul
47
(Burdon, Carter, Gartig, Kravetz, Noya, Passmann)
